Wow Blake is. Complete idiot like WHY IS HE LYING? EVERYTHING WOULD BE BETTER IF HE TOLF THE TRUTH! YOU CAN SIMPLY TELL FROM SAMS FACE THAT SHE HAD NO IDEA AND THAT HE WAS LYING! TEAM SAM AND LISA ALL THE WAY!! as for Louise she's as stupid as Blake for going along with it LIKE COME ON SHE WAS 3rd!'

Hi everyone - I posted here a bit earlier in the middle of all the action - just wanted to add another OM*G to the responses of everyone here who just watched The Project Blake-Louise interview and teaser for tomorrow's Sam-Lisa interview.

Up until now I was giving Blake the benefit of the doubt... I didn't really think he was lying, just fudging the facts, evading direct answers and keeping his options open. In fact, I was crossing fingers for some kind of happy ending. Right now I am seriously wondering if Blake, Louise and their PR agents can salvage this given the truck load of holes now apparent in his story...

Sam tweeted to Blake "tell anymore fibs bachie and your nose will start growing!" Then she deleted it man she is spot on! I tell ya

It would be interesting to know when Blake reached out to Lisa. I thought the strangest comment Blake made during the interview was he was ready to get married he just did not know which girl to pick. Surely he knows that is not how you go into a marriage, it really sounded like he was given a bonus to propose. It wasn't like a spontaneous decision, he said he was ready as he was designing the ring at Bunds. If I was Louise's parents I would be devastated. Why does Louise think she has to support and trust Blake.

I thought it was very strange pr advice to start blaming Sam for not telling the truth.

AMAZING this is for non Aussies.

I am sorry. I know there are fans of Blake out there. I have tried, tried, tried to give him the benefit of the doubt...

Blake is NOT Jason Mesnick.

That is my opinion... Sam has NEVER had a filter ever. Blake said that Sam can read him very well. He was stupid enough to choose to propose and dump the one girl that would call him out on any of his stuff...

Anyone wanting to believe Blake that is fine. I am just using my head and not my heart here. I wish Louise all the best... but I am done being part of the Blake support team. There was nothing but narcissism in his responses to Carrie. It is only about him. He finally chose a girl who would MOVE for him. She was the only one willing to do that.

1) Because in Episode 8, Blake said... "I want someone who will support ME in the end."

2) Then in his proposal to Sam he said "I came here to find someone to support ME."

I have literally written pages in this thread about these very statements and how they relate to him going down the line and choosing Louise (because Sam did not support him after the show when he was getting hit in the press about kissing all the women. She wouldn't support him because it was true!). I know, yes I am aware that people don't like when one says 'know' as if it is fact, but I "know" based on the evidence that Blake has displayed that support to him is the ONLY criteria that matters. He never said, "I want to find someone to support or we can be there for each other". The emphasis is always "me". If someone wants to argue otherwise, please do so based on what Blake has displayed and not your personal feelings about Blake. Use his own words and behaviour, show or post-show that will give evidence that this is not the case. I have yet to hear anyone be able to do so... it is usually just, I like Louise, so happy for love. That is not what this is. It is not about love, for me. It is determining whether Blake is deserving of a love that seems unbalanced and one sided. At this time in his life, he is definitely not ready for marriage based on his actions.

The reason for this has more to do with what type of people we want to be rather than the type of person Blake is. We want to believe in the goodness of people, believe in the happy ending. Believe that people are authentic and are truly what we hope them to be.

The problem is that says more about who WE are than who Blake is. He has shown, time and time again, when asked the facts, he claims NO responsibility. First it was because of the show, the time, Sam not being romantic a person enough, and he was heartbroken about all the women, and there was no one else and he did not have the headspace for that. Now he has lots of headspace all of a sudden and there IS someone else, he is absolutely sure (within one week), Sam is the reason he couldn't be honest (please!, he dumped her already, spare me the I respect her feelings story), he wrote the letter right before the finale (so this means Sam didn't know about it), he also called Lisa (and she says he asked her if she still had feelings for him), and now he is so in love he is moving in with Louise so they can be close to his businesses?

Looking at the facts one can easily see that we are just projecting our own good nature onto someone else's actions. I am not saying he is a terrible person at his core (that is not my place to judge), but I will say that he has terrible judgement and displayed terrible behaviour.

Posting etiquette ladies. THanks.

There is no swearing on this forum, not even in the abbreviated form. Also, please use IMO (In my opinion)  JMHO (Just My Humble Opinion) more often, when posting your thoughts. Blake may be a liar however that is the opinion of the poster. Example, Blake is a liar IMO.
